 In Loving Memory of Jules Lindowitz 

Julie Ann Lindowitz née Osnowitz passed away at home on the morning of July 23rd, 2026. She was just 62 years old. Known to her friends as Jules and over the years Oz, The Hammer and Meow. She left an unforgettable impression wherever she went. Jules battled for her life with unbelievable courage and fortitude, but cancer was the one fight she did not win. She was lovingly cared for by her wife, Sylvia and her son, James, who tended to her, held her and reminded her how deeply she was loved. 

Jules was born in 1964 in Toledo, Ohio to Ed and Mary Osnowitz and grew up in Perrysburg. She attended Perrysburg Highschool; home of the Yellow Jackets where she excelled as a cross-country runner and percussionist in the school band at a time when female percussionists were still uncommon. Known to all as "Oz," Jules accumulated several accolades with her bandmates including All Ohio State Fair Band and the All County Band. But her most cherished accomplishment was her friendship with Laurie Creps née Collins. They remained lifelong friends despite Laurie making Jules wear a poofy, purple bridesmaid dress at her wedding to Dave in 1988. 

After high school, Jules enlisted in the United States Marine Corp serving honorably until October 11th, 1988. Standing at just five-foot-two, it was a stretch to imagine Jules as a Marine, but she was determined to serve her country proudly and managed to make it through boot camp intact. Jules was a drummer in the Marine Corp Marching Band and toured all over the east coast playing in small town parades and concert halls celebrating the United States of America.
